The past week wase dull one on the Stock Exchange ‘up to yesterday at noon, when it suddenly became weak ‘and excited to the verge of panic, the immediate cause being a break m Eric, which carried the price of the stock from 75% to 69, Such ® squall in the midst of a witnessed before in Wall street, And the entire railway list eympathized with this unex- Pected turn in tho course of Erie.

Preparations are going forward for the fall trade, which it is expected will be larger than usual in consequence of the prosperity resulting from the continue steady in sympathy ‘with the firmness of tho market for the raw material. ‘The-receipts at all tho ports are on @ gradually declining fale, those for the wock ending on Friday having been enly 6,026 bales, making the tofal gince the 1st of Sep- tember 1,829,206 bales, against 1,982,230 bales for the corresponding period ia the previous year. The exports ‘are also very light, the aggregate for the week being only 18,787 bales, making a total of 1,499,154 bales since September 2, against 1,471,855 bales for the same time in 1865-8. The stock at ail tho ports at the latest dates was reduced. to 185,972 bales. Of this New Orleans ‘had 48,668; Mobile, 12,61 mab, 5,262; Texas, 8,512; ber of American bottoms during the firet half of 1867, Dut a decrease in the tonnage. ‘The receipts of internal revenge for the San Francisco istrict for the fiscal year ending June 90, 1967, have ‘been publidhed, and aggregate « little over $5,000,000, The monthly receipts compare as foi! ceding fiscal yoar:— ‘ot was extremely easy and loaus Wore mado at four per cent on government securities, &nd in some instances at three, while the genera! rate on mixed cotlaterals was five, with exceptional transac- The discount line was inactive, and first class commercial paper was in demand at 6 a7 per cent; Dut inferior grado’ wore out of favor at the banks, The internal exchanges continue to be in favor of this city, and tho statement of tho associated banks for the week ‘will probably show a further increase of a million cach io legal tender notes and doposits, although the specie has decreased about $2,200,000. ‘There will doubtless be some calling in of loans to-morrow on account of the Bbrinkage of margins which has taken place, Government securities were lightly dealt in during the early part of the weck, but they subsequently be- came more active and closed strong. The gold market was very firm during the week, and wituout important fluctuations, the extrome range hav- ing been from 139% to 140%. The “short” interest is hoary, and the borrowing rate for loans advanced to 3% Per ceut per diem on Friday and Saturday. The demand for customs duties has been larger than usual of late, bat the export of specie fell short of the average of the past month, the total for tho week boing little more than @million, The closing transactions were at 14033, and daily range of the wock was as foliows:— Charleston, 3,134; Savan- w York, 72,000; Florida, 480, and other ports, 35,000. The stock of cotton at Liverpool on the 6:h inst. was 738,200 bales, and at Lon- don 63,942 bales. In addition it was estimated that ‘there were 50,000 bales of American and 631,957 of In- dian afloat, making a total of 1,489,099 bales afloat and @shore, against 1,764,773 bales at the same date in 1866. ‘The foreign exchange market was dull throughout the ‘week, and altnough the supply of bills was very light the fact of the demand being equally so resulted in diminished firmness toward the close, and the rate for prime bankers’ sterling at sixty days declined from 11014 1103{, and transactions second hand were made at 110, while good bat not prime bills were negotiated at 109% a 7%. On Saturday quotations were nominally as gubjoined:—Bankers’ bills on England at sixty days, 10974 a 110%; at three days, 110% « %; commercial Dilla, 1095 uw %; bills on Paris at sixty days, 5.13% a G.12};; at three days, 5.11% a 5.10%.

From Statistics just compiled we find that there were entered ‘at this port from foreign ports in the three months end- ing Jano 20, 1867, only 631 American vessels, while the number of foreign vessels was 048, The tonnage of the former was 319,818 and of the latter 548,454.

Ho is the leader of the government or Canadian party in this province, and is a capdidate for the dominion Par- {lament from the county of Cumberland. His election will probably be closely contested. ‘The canvass in this province is conducted with great energy and spirit, and each party professes to bo san- guine of saccess, It is quite appropriate at this point that I should take a retrospective glance at the political situation from a Nova Scotian point of view, and convey to you, almost in thelr own words, the arguments of the inhabitants against the now order of affairs. ‘What were six weeks ago the British provinces of Canada, New Branswick and Nova Scotia to-day stand before the world rejoicing in tho bigh sounding title of the “Dominion of Canada,’ with no leas a personage Viceroy at its bead, the first incipieut (ndication of attempt to establish monarchial rule on thie ban a ‘The means adopted to bring about a confederation of Banada. referred to the" people members’ minds by ships, titles, power an tween England ite own, has by did also Island rojected ti the British North American provinces ere not dissimilar from those used by the same Power to effect a union be- ‘and Ireland, by which inj done the latter, the wooful effocts of which are yet farfrom being eradicated.

Tho scene is dramatic in {ts force and coloring. ‘Without the Tombs all is still and quiet, botokening the rest of the Sabbath; within 43 “‘lifo" in all its worst features, The fresh morning air which percolates through the hashed streets, although the weather is misty and vaporish, breathes of the freedom of heavon; the close atmosphere of the prison suggests tho confine- ment of the lower regions. The trees and the sky with- out speak of nature and nature's God; the closed doors the fron gratings, the bolts and bars and jailors within are symbolical of naught but the Master of Evil and his handiwork. The contrast is great, even at first sight; but the picture develops more as one inquires into its inner workings and takes note of the different specimens of humanity let loose from ‘“durance vile, they have been kept all night, and brought up in the morning for judgment before tho stern Rhadamanthus tor example :— Prisoners.
